Kentucky Child Now

Kentucky Child Now (KCN), founded in 2000, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the welfare of children throughout the state of Kentucky.[1] It is the Kentucky affiliate of America's Promise,[2] an organization started by Colin Powell in 1997 for child welfare.[3] The organization operates around the fundamental principle that youth need access to five resources for success: "1) caring adults; 2) safe places; 3) a healthy start; 4) marketable skills; and 5) opportunities to serve".[2]
